I was given the chicken dinner when I asked for the beef one - did not realize until the flight attendant was far away so I couldn't switch. This was a 13 hr flight - attendants did not offer water during the flight. No video options in English, only 1 channel on the screen on my seat, movie played on screen in front for all passengers to watch.

We got to move to the front of economy which gave us more legroom which we needed.

They changed planes on us and we lost our upgraded “premium economy” seats.

The over all experience was nice and the Hawaiian airlines personal was spot on for friendliness and help with my mom and her special needs and wheel chair assistance, it has made her first trip to Hawaii.

Early arrival

Rather rude flight attendants and gate agents. I had to wait a very long time to get my known traveler number in my boarding pass... they didn’t seem too know how to do it at first! Multiple times I was not given beverage service or trash pickup - like I was invisible in the horrible middle seat squished between two men. Awful!

Lost luggage that was gate checked, paid $600 extra for upgraded seats and they weren't great. We had a window seat but there was barely a window.

Food was good. Flight attendants were good.

Tiny beds in business class with two-across seating so the window passenger has to climb over the aisle passenger. Are they stuck in the 90s?
I won't fly with them again.
Boarding in Beijing for Manila was a free for all. Business class was not called first. Isn't this why I pay triple the coach fare?
No English language newspapers from Los Angeles to Beijing.

You left me stranded in Bali and wouldn’t rebook me. You wouldn’t give me a full refund. You made me purchase an entirely new flight with a different airline. I spent FIVE hours on hold waiting to speak with a representative. I will advise anyone I know to never fly China Airlines

Transfer was handed well between domestic and international terminals, but not a moment to spare.
Cabin crew was attentive and highly professional.
The announcements were handled well.
Will fly them again!

In Guangzhou there was just enough time to transfer between flights. If there had been a delay, I would have easily missed the connection.
The connections at Guangzhou involve multiple gyrations of shuttles between terminals and immigrations, etc.
There was an opportunity to upgrade the cabin while boarding, but was not well announced or implemented. I would have welcomed the chance to upgrade.

We arrived safely.

I was unable to check in online.When I mentioned this at the ticket counter the agent responded that they kept hearing that from passageners. Apparently this wasn't enough of an issue to make any changes.
The plane was uncomfortable for such a long flight.
Lots of movie choices, but few current choices.
Flight attendants weren't that friendly.

The movies weren't working. They served one glass of wine. The stewardesses didn't seem to be interested in any issues.

They had to change tires before we lelt in Toronto. And we spent more than one hour on the tarmac.

Not sure who thought every passenger is 5'6 but for the rest of us, the seat pitch is ridiculously close. Like knees to the seat in front close. I'm 5'10 and I was very uncomfortable the entire flight.

I was traveling for medical reasons and the Delta crew took great care of me, made sure I was at my connecting gate on time, and even put me in a better seat on the plane. Not sure if that was a coincidental upgrade, or intentional, but it was perfect.

The WiFi was very intermittent and made the entertainment hard to watch.

had to take another flight, ticket agent was able to change me to a different flight on JAL. however, JAL could not access the ticket info and ticket agent would not take my payment. result was missing that flight, ticket manager told me it's my fault and tough luck no refund. American airlines told me the same, ended up losing my money for the ticket purchase.
i booked another new flight with another airline direct. worst experience in my life using kayak.

We’re not the seller.
At KAYAK we don’t set the prices, so it’s not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.

Why aren’t prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
